It’s on from 10am to 3pm and you can either book through the website or walk in.
Cocktails and food in Mamasan
The South East Asian dishes at Mamasan in Liverpool ONE are amazing, the green curry with monkfish tail and tiger prawns has got to be tried, and the cocktails are pretty special too. There’s a whole menu to choose from but maybe give a chance to the salted watermelon mojito or the raspberry and rose margarita – up on the roof terrace if it’s nice.

See the sea lion display at Knowsley Safari
It’s hard to pick a favourite animal at Knowsley Safari, that’s almost as bad as picking your favourite child, but we do have a soft spot for the sea lions. Their displays are always popular with families and now they’re back with resident California sea lions Arthur, Roger and Louis. On at 12pm, 1.30pm, 3pm and 4.30pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

Love, Liverpool at the Playhouse
We all know Liverpool’s full of people with incredible stories to tell but we don’t always get to hear them.

Tuck into chat bombs and at Mowgli
When it’s a bit wet outside some comfort food is absolutely in order and Mowgli’s chat bombs hit the spot. They’re a must-order, gorgeous little crispy balls packed with chickpeas, spiced yoghurt, tamarind and coriander. They’ll go down a treat in no time, so might as well throw in a few slices of Himalayan cheese on toast too for next level feelgood.
